How to Pronounce Letasha
Pronounced luh-TAH-shuh /lΙΛtΙΛ.ΚΙ/Medium
Meaning: Letasha is a coined name pairing the popular Le- prefix of the era with the -tasha of Natasha. Natasha is the Russian short form of Natalia, from the Latin natalis, 'birthday' and Christmas, so that heritage sits behind the ending. Letasha itself was built for its warm, flowing sound, a real creation of Black American naming.Low

History & Origin
Letasha belongs to the inventive Le- names of American, and especially Black American, naming in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, joining that prefix to the fashionable Natasha ending. We trace the parts honestly: the -tasha carries Natasha's birthday meaning, while the whole was chosen for its music. It is a genuine name of its time.
It stayed rare, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around 1980 and thinning by the nineteen-nineties. A girl named Letasha then is in her forties now.
